Syria: Quo Vadis?
It would be accurate to interpret the United StatesÂ’ and the WestÂ’s increasing interest in Syria as a rush to secure a role in the scenario in which the Baath regime is nearing its end.

If Turkey and Egypt, , they will have taken a step that could deeply influence geopolitics in the whole region.
Turkey’s definitive stance on the issue shifted the Syrian resistance’s regional dynamics and event the faith of the Syrian regime.
The only way the U.S. can take a constructive role in the Middle East in the aftermath of the Arab uprisings is to follow a foreign policy that is realistic and geared towards restoring justice.
Had ErdoÄŸan supported the Baath regime or had he remained a spectator, as the opposition demanded, it would have taken him only months to do the political harm to himself that his adversaries could in decades.
The PKK and the Middle East
Does the PKK, in the context of Turkey’s Kurdish question, intend to lay down its arms under any circumstance?

Iran has to change its perspective on the region if it really wants to become a determining factor in the region post-al-Assad.
The PKK, which missed by a long shot the transformation both Turkey and the Middle East undertook as evidence by the more blood it continues to shed, will continue to be a burden to the Kurds.
Those who insisted that al-Assad was there to stay for a long time, after a bomb went off in Damascus, moved onto the second propaganda phase.
Russia is now about to pay the cost for its decision to invest in al-Assad -- a decision Russia has difficulty justifying even to itself.
If Turkey’s CHP believes that they are up to the task of running the country, the Syrian crisis may serve as a great opportunity to convince the still doubtful voters.
Hafez al-Assad, with his collaborative strategies, his power of control and cruelty, corresponds to Vito Corleone.
The Syrian regime, with its latest move, has cleared the path for Turkey to be a more legitimate and involved actor of the current crisis.
The results of this litmus test will be utilized in the new Middle East numerous times!
The round table underlined the significance of Russia and Iran in the Syrian crisis, while highlighting the inefficiency of regional and international organizations.
“Should al-Assad step down, disaster will ensue.” This assumption not only asserts that a region with al-Assad is possible, but it insists that it would in fact be better. Is that really so?
The massacre in Houla last week demonstrated once again that not much has changed since the uprisings started in Syria. The Baathist regime continues to kill in front of the whole world.
